Any time you do opposing camera angles, there's gonna be some compromise in the lighting.

For me, I believe comedy's about taking risks, taking chances, working in a safe environment where you're comfortable making a fool of yourself. It's so critical, especially in comedy, to just have all those right pieces in place.

You don't rehearse jazz to death to get the camera angles.

I worked on 'Sarah Connor' even longer than 'Firefly.' And I always remembered how generous everyone was to me when I didn't know what to do, and I didn't know the rules, and I didn't know camera angles, and I didn't know lighting.

It seems that every time we get to an impasse, we (council members) are asked to yet again compromise more, and give more. And now, yet again, there is another block being put in place and I'm having a hard time with that, personally.

No rendering can really simulate the way the light bounces off the bronze panel. From some angles, it's almost a mirror, and from others it's a matte surface.
